wait, sydney travellers get charged extra for a bus on top of train/metro fare?

sadly the one place is "Greater Melbourne"

that's my favourite vidya (defense of se ancients)

nah, ep 7 felt like it was setting up a finale arc. there's a tonal shift.

from a certain perspective, a chicken nugget is just a tiny schnitzel of mysterious origin

wait that film has vfx?? i thought they were real lions????!?

we're only partway thru the reboots but, while it's better animated, it doesn't quite capture the iconic, chaotic spiral of the original

there's something in how the original starts as a pulpy monster-of-the-week giant mecha show, and then descends into the psych horror or whatever the fuck Eva actually is

the last two eps of the original were much better than i remembered, too! End of Eva is absolutely *iconic*, however!

we're making our way thru Evangelion, End of Eva and now the reboot movies in @noteworthy.games's discord watchparty server so i've been thinking about it lately

if i was leading a shadowy military unit building a mecha based on the soul (?) of my dead wife i would simply be nicer to my son, i'm just built different

seriously, NGE would be like 2.5 eps long if Gendo could speak to his son like a human being, just once! instead of behaving like a manipulative bastard with everyone including his own flesh and blood

Hideaki Anno has some serious daddy issues (along with the Freudian mommy stuff)

i think it's just the hydrogen hype bubble finally popping. it's been pretty obvious that clean hydrogen was never gonna have as many uses as these execs were trying to convince us. the Hydrogen Ladder (mliebreich.substack.com/p/hydrogen-l...) is instructive.
